## ABUSE-REPORT HISTORY (evidence of registrar non-response)
----------------------------------------------------------------
Status: CLOSED — no report required.
This domain was neutralised before the abuse-report cycle could be dispatched — either
the hosting provider / registrar suspended it on their own, the DNS went dead, or the
operator abandoned the infrastructure. PhishDestroy keeps the evidence bundle on file
for audit but no formal notice was sent.

## TIMELINE
----------------------------------------------------------------
Domain registered: 2026-02-21 (per WHOIS / CT — may reflect a renewal or transfer date, not first-ever registration)
First detected:    2026-02-26 23:21:13 UTC (by PhishDestroy tracker)
Last verified:     2026-04-18 13:17:48 UTC
Current status:    taken down (registrar suspended or DNS dead)

## ANALYST NARRATIVE
----------------------------------------------------------------
[Generated: 2026-03-24 00:39:06 UTC — narrative may predate facts above. Treat fields in TIMELINE / DETECTION EVIDENCE / INFRASTRUCTURE as authoritative if they differ from the prose below.]

PhishDestroy identifies climatestake.org as a low-risk crypto drainer domain that has been taken offline. While only one security vendor flagged the site and it had a very low trust score, the domain posed a potential threat by attempting to drain cryptocurrency wallets from unsuspecting users. Crypto drainer sites can silently access and steal digital assets, making them dangerous despite limited detection rates.

This domain operated by masquerading as an ESG investing resource, likely to lure users interested in sustainable finance topics. Once visitors engaged with the site, it could have triggered scripts designed to exploit wallet vulnerabilities or prompt users to authorize transactions, thereby draining their crypto holdings. Although the site is now offline, its initial presence on a security blocklist indicates it was recognized as suspicious.

If you visited climatestake.org, it is important to review your cryptocurrency wallet activity immediately. Change any related passwords and enable multi-factor authentication where possible. Avoid interacting with unknown crypto links or sites claiming investment insights without proper verification. Staying vigilant and using trusted security tools can help prevent losses from similar crypto drainer threats in the future.

## EVIDENCE HASHES
----------------------------------------------------------------
TLS cert SHA-256:      c31004d14b07187687670e05eb2b7c14dd25156bae8b96a09f6b504ff85e00c7

## SCORING METHODOLOGY
----------------------------------------------------------------
Composite score is NOT derived from VirusTotal alone. PhishDestroy aggregates:
  - VirusTotal positive ratio
  - Public blocklist consensus (MetaMask, ScamSniffer, OpenPhish, PhishTank, URLhaus,
    CryptoFirewall, SEAL, Polkadot, Enkrypt, Phishunt, DiscordPhishing, PhishingDB)
  - Cloaking detection (HTTP 666 or rendering delta between bot and real visitor)
  - DNS-filter consensus (Quad9, CleanBrowsing, NextDNS, AdGuard, Cloudflare, etc.)
  - AlienVault OTX pulses + Cloudflare Radar + Google Safe Browsing
  - URLScan / URLQuery verdicts
  - Brand-impersonation heuristics (DOM analysis of forms, logos, wording)
  - Known phishing-kit fingerprinting (favicon hash, JS obfuscation signatures)
  - Wallet-drainer family classification (Angel, MS, Rainbow, Pink, Inferno, ...)
  - Free-TLS vs paid-cert ratio (throwaway infrastructure signal)
  - Registrar/hosting abuse history (this registrar's track record)
  - Human researcher sign-off (volunteer takedown team)

A domain present in our database is ALREADY flagged. A low VT count by itself does
NOT mean the domain is safe — new scam domains routinely show 0/95 VT for their
first 7–30 days while actively draining wallets. Always cross-reference the composite
score and the individual indicators above, not just VT.
